Frequently Asked Questions
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data as ASCII text. It's commonly used to embed images directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON without needing separate image files.
When should I use Base64 images?
Base64 is ideal for small images like icons and logos (under 10KB). For larger images, traditional image files are more efficient as Base64 increases file size by about 33%.
What's the difference between Data URI and raw Base64?
Data URI includes the MIME type prefix (e.g., 'data:image/png;base64,') and can be used directly in HTML src attributes. Raw Base64 is just the encoded string without the prefix.
